How to Hoop a onesie for machine embroidery

[@bescalanteaz]

Why remove the top hoop? Why not just float it as it was in the original position?

[@CreativeAppliques]

If an item can be hooped, it is always best to do that. It gives a much better stitch out and increases the success of your project coming out the way you want it to. Floating is not recommended, only as a last resort or for items that are impossible to hoop (like leather bags, suitcases, jean jackets)

I'm going to try. than you so very much

I started with the Designer I then got the SE then the Diamond

[@CreativeAppliques]

I loved my Designer 1. It started having issues this year so I upgraded to the Brother Luminaire

[@ElizabethHardin-gm1tt]

Great step by step help. You stopped short of showing how you put it on the machine with the clamps in place, though. Also, how would you modify this for an infant gown with elastic at the bottom?

I've done 1 onesie Now I think I'll have to get those clips

You posted this a couple of years ago. Do you still hoop onesies like this? It seems way too complicated. You could use a soft iron on stabilizer like one from Floriani (Dream Weave?) to protect the knit fabric from distortion and provide additional lightweight support, and just float the onesie in the hoop.

[@CreativeAppliques]

I always prefer to hoop over floating. The results with floating are way too inconsistent IMHO. For newbies, in order to get the most experience and build confidence, hooping needs to be mastered. Without mastering hooping, the embroidery design will be compromised greatly. I do iron on fusible polymesh to the back of all knits and then hoop the item with medium tearaway stabilizer. The only time I float is when I cannot hoop the item successfully :)

[@clmtdmmjcmm4489]

Charm C I agree. I couldn’t do a onesie like this

[@monkeynumbernine]

I could imagine doing this more easily with a smaller hoop. I have hooped a zillion different items, but not this way, I will try it

[@gracegamage7510]

I have tried this several times now and no matter what I do when I unstick the onesie and loosen the hoop to start to take out the top hoop the stabilizer just comes out or moves out of position and i have to start all over again. This is not working. I'm gonna have to try floating it instead I guess.

Thank you!

[@CreativeAppliques]

You're welcome!

this technique works when the onesie you are embroidering fits exactly on the sides or width of your hoop. I tried using the technique for a XS boys shirt of first leaving the inner hoop on and then aligning the shirt center to the center marks on the stabilizer and it was a big struggle as my shirt is bigger than the hoop.

Way to difficult....but nice video ...just not for me to many steps .

I’m new to embroidery and just set up my machine. I appreciate all of your videos as I’m setting up my machine and fixing to do my first test stitch! I’m curious why you would bother lining up the shirt with the top hoop inside and spend all of that time lining up marks if it just requires you to lift the shirt (erasing everything you just did) to then remove the top hoop? As you said, this onsie was thin and we can easily see through it, but if it were using a thicker quality blank or darker material we wouldn’t be able to see through. Why wouldn’t we just leave the top hoop off while lining it up with the bottom hoop, then place the top hoop on there? I’m sure I’m just missing something since I’ve never done it before but seems like wasted steps/time if we just have to re-line it after removing the top hoop. Thanks!

[@CreativeAppliques]

it is easier to visually see the lining up when using the top hoop, especially for newbies :)

[@ingeneren]

another great tutorial. Thank you :-)

[@CreativeAppliques]

Thanks again!

[@kellymarais3621]

What size of hoop is used here? I have a 150x100 but seem to struggle a lot to get the onese at the back out of the way. It stretches out a lot

[@CreativeAppliques]

This is the 6x10 hoop I am using. These are the clips that really help and work since they have a very l ow profile and can be laid down to get out of the way of the machine: amzn.to/39mF3qy

[@rubyleon5515]

Yesss thank you so much!!!🥰

[@CreativeAppliques]

Of course!!

[@lindapucillo3493]

Does using this size hoop stretch the onesie?i bought a 4”x4” hoop specifically to use on small onesies or small designs. Both our grandchildren were born early, and one was so small even the premie clothes were too big for a number of months. They are both in clothes under 12 month sizes, but I would like to embroider some personal things for them. I will try this technique with the smaller size hoop. Thanks for the great and very clear tutorial.

[@CreativeAppliques]

For a preemie onesie, I would definitely only go with w 4x4 hoop.

[@alinanicoara2924]

Che tipo di stabilizzatore ha usato ? Sto cercando qualcosa che rimanga morbido sulla pelle del bimbo . Grazie

[@CreativeAppliques]

This is what I used: amzn.to/3rBo2C4

@@CreativeAppliques graize mille . 🤩🤩

[@janetsweatman6758]

The pencil marks will definitely show through

[@CreativeAppliques]

Yes. They show thru on the tear away stabilizer but that gets covered by fabric and stitching. Thank you so much for watching 💕

[@carolgoff4317]

Thank you. Your instructions were very clear and easy to follow. I'm not sure how any of my onesies have even turned out! Next up...me following your advice. Thank you again!
